This book provides a comparative study of Texas, California, and Alabama's drought response, examining how water scarcity and droughts have interacted with state-level factors to produce variance in policy innovations. It demonstrates divergence in water policies due to environmental cultures, water distribution, and structures, despite similar drought conditions. It is a valuable resource for those looking to construct drought policy and understand comparative state drought policy.

The water policy in the United States is a highly intricate and multifaceted domain within the realm of public policy. This comprehensive book, a comparative analysis of Texas, California, and Alabama's drought response, presents a groundbreaking framework for examining how water scarcity and droughts have interacted with diverse state-level factors to yield a substantial range of policy innovations. Employing Toddi Steelman's (2010) conceptual framework, the authors delve into numerous variables that influence water policy innovation, while highlighting the limitations of a one-size-fits-all approach. Through meticulous demonstration, they unveil the divergent water policies resulting from the unique environmental cultures, water distribution systems, and institutional structures in each case, despite sharing similar drought conditions.

As water scarcity becomes increasingly pressing in the future, the ability to learn from these states' experiences will offer invaluable guidance to other entities grappling with droughts and water shortages. The Drought Dilemma is an essential read for anyone seeking recommendations for crafting effective drought policy and for developing future strategies to comprehend the comparative dynamics of state drought policies.
